I had to resort to FSGetCatalogInfo -- there is no way to do it through
NSFileManager, etc. Right?
Since there are several ways to hide a file, I don't think FSGetCatalogInfo will necessarily tell you if a file is invisible. The right way (before 10.6, anyway) is to use LSCopyItemAttribute with the attribute kLSItemExtensionIsHidden.
I don't think that's the right thing at all. kLSItemExtensionIsHidden would seem to be talking about the *extension*.
Oops, I was half right. Right function, wrong attribute;
kLSItemIsInvisible is what is needed.
